The Lord of the Rings

“Give me a year and a hundred of my kin and I would make this
a place that armies would break upon like water.”

- Tolkien

Like Gimli, the character in Lord of the Rings, engineers take
pride in spotting a problem and knowing that they can build a
solution that will stand the test of time. Engineering is a special
fraternity. Bonds between colleagues are forged early, and in the
end they are linked in fellowship through their engineering rings.

Now, engineering students on the west coast of the province
can begin their journey without heading to St. John's. This
year Sir Wilfred Grenfell College has partnered with the Faculty
of Engineering and Applied Science on the St. John's campus
to offer full first year engineering courses. It's another way
Grenfell strives to offer students an alternative to doing things
the traditional way. And when the first students complete their
degrees, rings firmly on fingers, they'll know that they helped
build a new path to engineering success.
